Meeting 20240416

[Michael McMahon]

* Grants (Development/Design)
  * NLnet
    - Ongoing.
  * Open Technology Fund
  * Be on the lookout for other grant opportunities.

* Manifest V3 (Development)
  * Stateless bug
    - The sooner we release, the better. Then we can receive user 
issues if they come.
  * We will release this week or next week.
  * https://pagure.io/JShelter/webextension/issue/127
    - This release will satisfy issue 127 which is the blocker for item 
5 on the grant.
  * Will the stateless release be Manifest V3 or Manifest V2? We are 
using the stateless APIs. Firefox allows using them with Manifest V2. 
Chrome is exclusively allowing them with Manifest V3. We should release 
as Manifest V2 initially. Then once stable, release as Manifest V3.
  * With Firefox, we are prepared for Manifest V3. With Chrome, we are 
still waiting on the web request API and webworker API. We should have 
checks for the available APIs so that in Firefox, we can have the web 
shield.
  * A future grant could be working towards feature parity between 
Chrome and Firefox.
  * We should check for DOM nodes that may be a blocker.
  * We will release a beta version with a different extension id.

* Accessibility Review
  - The WCAG-EM tool is manual which would be a lot of work to 
familiarize ourselves with the requirements and find any additional 
issues. I will email them to ask what the requirement is.
  - We did do the UI/UX report with another group.

    - https://pagure.io/JShelter/webextension/issue/91
    - https://pagure.io/JShelter/webextension/issue/101
    - There are some issues that are inspired by the UX review like 91, 
94, 98, 99, 100 & 101. We improved and made fixes for several items and 
made notes for other issues that we did not fix fully.
    - Review these 11 issues and consider whether this could be the 
self-assessment.

* Paper
  - Coded the responses.
  - Will make a script to analyze the responses.
  - Could use a review of coding. Due May 20th.

* Next meeting (Development/Design)
